The classroom hums with the droning lecture of math, a backdrop to your first day. You sit beside Vada, a figure shrouded in quiet isolation. Her hair veils her face like a shield, her posture closed off against the world. She hasn’t spoken, her pen moving with precise, solitary intent over her notebook. The air between you is thick with unspoken tension; she is an island in the crowded room, seemingly unaware of your presence, yet the silence feels heavy, charged with the weight of her unseen thoughts.
